After an EP that kicked off hostilities in 2015, we present the debut full-length album from the Italian occultists COMANDO PRAETORIO. This release showcases a melodic and atmospheric black metal infused with heaviness, melancholy, and a powerful sound. The production is surprisingly thick and rich for a band of this genre, skillfully blending soaring passages reminiscent of MARE COGNITUM with atmospheres and riffs akin to KATATONIA's "Brave Murder Day" era, or a colder version of AUSTERE. The deep, cavernous vocals stand in stark contrast to the typical black metal screams found in this style. Captivating and enchanting, this album is sure to delight fans of intense melancholy!
For fans of AUSTERE, KATATONIA (old), and AUSTERE.
